摘要:
In one embodiment, a power integrated circuit device includes a main lateral high-voltage field-effect transistor (HVFET) and an adjacently-located lateral sense FET, both of which are formed on a high-resistivity substrate. A sense resistor is formed in a well region disposed in an area of the substrate between the HVFET and the sense FET. A parasitic substrate resistor is formed in parallel electrical connection with the sense resistor between the source regions of the HVFET and the sense FET. Both transistor devices share common drain and gate electrodes. When the main lateral HVFET and the sense FET are in an on-state, a voltage potential is produced at the second source metal layer that is proportional to a first current flowing through the lateral HVFET.

A multiple-gate field-effect transistor includes a fluid in a top gate, two lateral gates, and a bottom gate. The multiple-gate field-effect transistor also includes a patterned depletion zone and a virtual depletion zone that has a lesser width than the patterned depletion zone. The virtual depletion zone width creates a virtual semiconductor nanowire that is lesser in width than the patterned depletion zone.

An impact ionization MOSFET is formed with the offset from the gate to one of the source/drain regions disposed vertically within the device structure rather than horizontally. The semiconductor device comprises a first source/drain region having a first doping level; a second source/drain region having a second doping level and of opposite dopant type to the first source/drain region, the first and second source/drain regions being laterally separated by a silicon-germanium intermediate region having a doping level less than either of the first and second doping levels; a gate electrode electrically insulated from, and disposed over, the intermediate region, the first and second source/drain regions being laterally aligned with the gate electrode; where the entire portion of the first source/drain region that forms a boundary with the intermediate region is separated vertically from the top of the intermediate region.

In a method of making graphite devices, a thin-film graphitic layer disposed against a preselected face of a substrate is created on the preselected face of the substrate. A preselected pattern is generated on the thin-film graphitic layer. At least one functionalizing molecule is attached to a portion of the graphitic layer. The molecule is capable of interacting with π bands in the graphitic layer.

A junction gate field-effect transistor (JFET) for an integrated circuit (IC) chip is provided comprising a source region, a drain region, a lower gate, and a channel, with an insulating shallow trench isolation (STI) region extending from an inner edge of an upper surface of the source region to an inner edge of an upper surface of the drain region, without an intentionally doped region, e.g., an upper gate, coplanar with an upper surface of the IC chip between the source/drain regions. In addition, an asymmetrical quasi-buried upper gate can be included, disposed under a portion of the STI region, but not extending under a portion of the STI region proximate to the drain region. Embodiments of this invention also include providing an implantation layer, under the source region, to reduce Ron. A related method and design structure are also disclosed.

A semiconductor device includes a first pMISFET region having an Si channel, a second pMISFET region having an Si channel and an nMISFET region having an Si channel. First SiGe layers which apply first compression strain to the Si channel are embedded and formed in the first pMISFET region to sandwich the Si channel thereof and second SiGe layers which apply second compression strain different from the first compression strain to the Si channel are embedded and formed in the second pMISFET region to sandwich the Si channel thereof.
